What can I expect during routine follow-up care?

What to expect during routine follow-up care depends on the reason for your appointment. Dr. Okorie discusses your health history, symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, and goals. He screens for signs of common health concerns and provides urgent care when necessary.

You might be a candidate for lab testing, drug screens, or medically supervised weight loss. If you need blood tests or other diagnostic tests, Dr. Okorie can order them for you, allowing you to complete them at a nearby lab. 

When Dr. Okorie receives the results, he reviews them with you. He determines whether you should continue the same treatment, make lifestyle or medication adjustments, or see another specialist.

How often should I schedule routine follow-up appointments?

It’s helpful to see a primary care provider at least once yearly for routine medical screenings. However, if you have a chronic disease or are participating in a medical weight loss program, you might need to schedule routine follow-up care every few months or even monthly. 

Call WellAxis Health anytime with questions or if you become ill, have a minor injury, develop medication side effects, or notice new or unusual symptoms.

Reduce your risk of health problems by getting plenty of sleep, eating a balanced diet, staying active, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol use, and minimizing stress. Consider yoga, walking, meditation, mindfulness, deep breathing, or tai chi.
